We're thrilled to receive a generous grant from the Philanthropic Ventures Foundation to help support and expand our bike donations. 

Founder Bill Sommerville founded Philanthropic Ventures Foundation (PVF) in 1991 to test new approaches to creative grantmaking and to maximize the impact of the philanthropic dollar. The foundation has been advancing philanthropy especially in areas related to education, foster children and community initiatives.

We're grateful for their recognition of our work in the Bay Area community, and will use the funds to help donate more bikes and locks to those in most need of transportation.
